The international situation is changing, and just as the world is paying attention to the Tokyo Olympics schedule, the United States has once again caused an uproar on the international stage. For a long time, under the slogan of "America First," the United States has frequently engaged in unilateralism and hegemonic acts, and has not hesitated to harm the interests of other countries in pursuit of its own selfish interests. Sure enough, this time, the "hegemonism" of the United States has once again suffered a serious blow.
On July 27, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken visited India for the first time, but India treated the United States with a cold attitude, which disgraced the United States. It stands to reason that as India's "big brother," the United States should welcome such a heavyweight and applaud it with thunderous applause. However, the Indian people greeted Blinken with condemnation and denunciation, openly expressing their dissatisfaction with the US Secretary of State, who "did not keep his word and went back on his word". This situation is undoubtedly the result of the United States' own efforts.
First of all, before Blinken announced his visit to India, the White House went so far as to emphasize that he would raise the "issue of people's rights", which was obviously a public "humiliation" to India, making Blinken's visit to India a "lesson" for the United States to hold high the banner of "defenders of people's rights" in the eyes of the majority of Indian people. In this case, it is difficult for not only the Indian people to accept, but also Modi and other Indians.
Second, India asked for assistance from the United States during the pandemic, and the United States paid lip service to hope, but in the end, it was fruitless. Such inaction has undoubtedly deepened India's frustration. In addition, at a time when the global new crown variant is spreading, the United States not only did not extend a helping hand to India, but demanded compensation from India on the grounds that the "mutant virus" originated in India. In this context, the majority of the Indian people generally believe that Blinken's visit to India is full of bad intentions and has all kinds of dissatisfaction with him, so he shows a "face-lifting" attitude.
Just as Blinken's visit to India was in awkwardness, on July 28, Iran's incumbent Hassan Rouhani met with Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei for the last time before taking office. Khamenei made an important speech, bluntly saying that he would learn from the experience of the current officials and must no longer have illusions about the United States and Western countries. He made it clear that Western countries can never be truly kind, and they will not hesitate to harm other countries when given the opportunity. For unharmed countries, this is only an indication of a temporary lack of capacity, not a good intention. Khamenei's tough stance undoubtedly shows his firm determination as an "anti-American fighter". At the same time, he noted that Iran must no longer rely on the United States and the West, and must rely on its own development. This staunch "anti-American" attitude indicates that after Rouhani leaves office and Raisi takes office, Iran's anti-American actions will further escalate, and the United States is bound to face major challenges in its Asia-Pacific strategy.
In addition to the events in India, on the same day as Khamenei's speech, Russia, a sworn enemy of the United States, also sent a "provocative" signal. On July 28, Russian press secretary Dmitry Peskov said in an interview with reporters that the United States and Russia are not partners, but adversaries, and bluntly showed that Russia will never give up confrontation with the United States. Despite Putin's repeated desire to "normalize relations between the parties", the parties have so far not formally reached an agreement, so the two countries remain in antagonistic relations. Peskov's statement is obviously accusing the United States of undermining US-Russian relations and demonstrating Russia's tough stance toward the United States. It is worth mentioning that Peskov's remarks coincided with the bilateral talks between Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov and US Deputy Secretary of State Sherman in Geneva. Russia's move is clearly putting pressure on the United States, and while holding talks, it directly makes a tough statement, putting the United States in a dilemma. Russia has shown great tacticality in its confrontation with the United States.
Looking at the world situation, although it is unpredictable, the United States, which is determined to adopt a hard-line attitude, seems to be following an inevitable path, and the decline of its hegemonic status is just around the corner. The title of "hegemonism" of the United States has been hit hard again: the rise of new changes in the Asia-Pacific region, which reveals the great changes in the Asia-Pacific region under the current international situation, and has attracted the attention of all over the world.
This article profoundly analyzes the many difficulties faced by the United States in the current international situation, and focuses on the heavy damage suffered by the United States' "hegemonism" in the Asia-Pacific region. In a calm and objective tone, the author analyzes the diplomatic setbacks of the United States in India, Iran, and Russia, as well as the changes in international political relations reflected behind these events.
First, the article uses the case of Blinken's visit to India to reveal the bad situation of U.S. diplomatic strategy in the Asia-Pacific region. The White House's statement on India's "people's rights issue" is seen as a blatant "humiliation" of India, which has called Blinken's visit to India in question. Under such circumstances, the unilateralism of the United States and its posture of holding high the banner of "defender of people's rights" have made the international community more suspicious of the real motives of the United States, and also put the United States in an awkward position in regional diplomacy.
Second, the article pointed out that the unfriendly behavior of the United States during the epidemic in India and its attitude towards the new crown variant problem have led to strong dissatisfaction among the Indian people against the United States. This shows that the United States has failed to respond in times of crisis, undermining friendly relations with India and further weakening American influence in the region.
On Iran, Khamenei's tough statement shows Iran's distrust and antipathy towards the United States. Iran's belief that Western countries can never be truly good is an indication of America's growing image in the international community. The article reasonably points out that Iran's antipathy towards the United States may further escalate after Raisi takes office, which will seriously affect the US strategy in the Asia-Pacific region.
In the end, Russia's statement has put the United States in a difficult position. Russia's assertive stance toward the United States is a direct underscore of America's frustration in relations with Russia, making it clear that the two countries are not partners, but adversaries. Russia's deliberate tough statement before the talks shows its means of exerting pressure on the United States and demonstrates Russia's flexibility and strategy in the international political game.
Overall, this chapter provides an in-depth analysis of the major problems encountered by the United States in international politics, reveals the tremendous blow suffered by the United States to "hegemonism" in the Asia-Pacific region, and provides readers with in-depth reflections on the current international situation. The article is full of objective insights and provides a useful reference for us to understand the complexity of international relations.
